Laser to plate pulse effect

A substrate for security verification, comprising:

• a transparent, laser-markable outer layer on at least one surface, the at least one surface including an image formed by a plurality of contours, each contour of the plurality of contours having at least one curved segment;
• and
• a plurality of raised lenses arranged in rows on the at least one surface of the substrate, wherein
• each row of the rows of raised lenses is aligned with a contour of the plurality of contours.

A method of fabricating a substrate for security verification, comprising:

• embossing rows of raised lenses on at least one surface of the substrate, the at least one surface including a transparent, laser-markable outer layer;
• and
• engraving a plurality of contours of an image on the at least one surface of the substrate, each contour of the plurality of contours having at least one curved segment, wherein
• each row of the rows of raised lenses is aligned with a contour of the plurality of contours, and
• a focal point of a raised lens in a row of raised lenses is aligned with a first contour of the plurality of contours at a first viewing angle and aligned with a second contour of the plurality of contours at a second viewing angle.
